While I'm not down with selling the hack, not interacting with police is always good advice.

It's shown over and over again that official contact with the police rarely has good results, at best has neutral results, and sometimes has VERY bad results.

I don't agree, but I could imagine feeling this way in another universe.

The path of least resistance is mutely accepting that it's a bad idea to talk to police, or otherwise engage with authorities.

Those who hold so much power over our lives must be held to much higher standards: of responsibility, ethics, and behavior. If you want change, take the path of maximum resistance.
